ACA Capture Pro is an all-in-one screen capture utility for Windows that can record still screenshot images as well as short movies (screencasts) of anything that’s on your computer screen.
The software has a useful timer mode to help you record desktop snapshots automatically at pre-defined intervals. ACA Capture also lets you capture video game sessions (like Age of Empire) as AVI files.
Other than desktop windows, you can capture long web pages as images. And if the web page has embedded Flash movies, you can easily save them onto the desktop.
With all these features, ACA Capture Pro costs ~$40 but you can have it for free as we have 10 software licenses to giveaway - no strings attached. The software works on all versions of Windows include Vista.

Overall, an excellent application. The “screen record” feature has been particularly useful in creating end-user training video snippets for various applications. Highly recommended.
Written by Daren Carpenter on 03.20.08
How is this better then say for example freeware tool camstudio? The more I use freeware solutions the more I think I should not pay for software. But maybe this is really great piece of software.
Written by Alfred on 03.20.08

Thanks if you are sending me the registration code. I have been trying out different screen capture programs, so can give this a shot as well.

Is this better than Camtasia? I like Jing, too, but it is a little basic. Nice free hosting for the screen captures on Jing, though. Either way, I would love a free copy to try.
Written by Michael on 03.20.08
I’d love to try this out.
I have a copy of Snagit but I’ve actually found that it doesn’t do some effects as well as a simple paint program so I’m eager to try something new and find out if Snagit really is the best.

This does seem to be a great tool, but I’m wondering how much memory this will hog. I’ve tried out many different screen captor programs, and many of them seem to lag my computer during startup. Has anyone actually tried the tool? How is the user interface?
I’d love to give this program a try, but it’s fine if I don’t get registration code. I’m perfectly happy with Jing and Clip2Net at the moment. Besides, I’m sure there will be others who would benefit from this offer a lot more than I would.
Written by Verdican on 03.20.08
Would love to have the chance to try this product. Sounds really cool, and would enable me to create tutorials for my students and colleagues in my CoP… Can’t afford to buy it, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed so that I’m “one of the lucky 11″!

Capturing gaming sessions or embedded flash content of web pages is definitely a unique feature. At present I use Faststone Screen Capture. Would love to try this one.
I think it’s as good as SnagIT’s screen capturing module, perhaps more good then that.

What sort of comment do you desire ?. A man walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. After a while the barpersons curiosity needs satisfying and the question is asked “What do you have on your shoulder ?”. “A newt” replied the man. “aaahhhh - what do you call him ?”. “Tiny” comes back the response. “Why Tiny ?” to which the man replies “Cos he’s my newt”.
